Who knew Hong Kong cafe food in a food court would be so popular? Does this beat driving to…read moreRichmond? Heck ya! Parking is easily available but there is a 4 hour limit. Cha Don has only been opened in Henderson Mall for 2 weeks and the line is insane. (Even went back a month later and it's still ridiculous.) Most of the dishes are under $16 but some of the items are not available till after 11:30. That's includes the baked rice dish and spaghetti and the minced pork patty rice series. This will quicken up the long time for those breakfast goers but sucks if you're craving either of those. So the first time I had gone, there were lots of mistakes in orders and the long lines. There was also a sign in front of the cashier stating that they will only take CASH or E-TRANSFER...So be prepared! By the look at more recent reviews, it seems like they're still working out the kinks and the line is still 30-45 minutes. Maybe by this spring they'll figure it out? Just know there are lots of good options if you're not willing to wait.

Cha Don is a Hong Kong-style café concept that nails the casual cha chaan teng experience with…read morelegit flavour and sharp value, especially for a food court operation. Long lines at both the Yaohan and Henderson Mall locations speak to how popular it is, and the pricing sits in the affordable range for generous, full-meal plates rather than snack-sized portions. The overall value proposition is strong: you get real-deal HK café flavours without feeling like corners were cut. Dishes come out fast and hot, and the kitchen does not skimp on proteins--whether it's pork chops, chicken, or beef, plates feel properly loaded rather than padded with carbs. Despite the crowds, service is efficient and geared toward turnover, which suits the food court setting and keeps waits manageable once you've actually ordered. It's the kind of place where you grab your tray, sit, and eat rather than linger, but it delivers exactly what you come for. Given the combination of flavour, portion size, and price, Cha Don is an easy recommend for Hong Kong café fans looking for a quick, satisfying meal. The only real downside is the lineup; at peak times the queue can be enough to make you think twice. Still, if the line isn't too long, it's absolutely worth returning for another round.

My family always wanted to come but we only made it once during breakfast. So this past weekend, we…read moregot there bright and early. We got seated right away. We got a variety of items: congee with beef, turnip cake, ham omelette, macaroni with satay beef, bolo bun and Ovaltine. To my surprise, almost everything was below expectation. The congee was overly salted. I first thought it's just me, then I heard customers at 2 other tables said the same so I guess it's not just my taste bud that had issues. The turnip cake barely had any toppings. It's plain and can't taste turnip to it. It's also not pan fried that well so it's mostly soft. The macaroni is alright. The broth is as expected. Some of the beef is kind of chewy though. The egg omelette is good. I also got an egg tart to go since that's what they're know for. The egg part is really good, soft and fluffy. The crust is a bit dry and thin. I've had better elsewhere tbh. Overall, my experience here is just alright. I appreciate the HK Cafe environment but the food was subpar

Van tea has been my family's go-to restaurant, particularly for breakfast. Lately i find that the…read morequality varies depending on the day of the week that you visit. Not sure if it has been the same chef/cook on Saturdays during breakfast and lunch time but the food hasn't been as tasty when compared to weekdays. Today we went for a family lunch gathering on a Saturday and the restaurant was jam packed. Not sure if this was also a factor but every single dish we ordered was so greasy. We also noticed that the portion wasn't as big as what we usually received on weekdays. The complementary soup that came was lukewarm so that was already one point off. The dishes when served were not presented nicely. For example, there was food hanging off the plate and pot (they eventually fell to floor) or spilled sauce on the table. Even my favorite dish stir fried beef rice noodles was just mediocre today. We ordered 6 dishes and every single dish was salty and greasy. It really felt like they were made in haste. It was overall a disappointment and I don't think I'd want to visit the restaurant on a Saturday again.

Found abt the lobster special and had to go…read more Honest to goodness Chinese food, i tell you! Got a few things to go with the lobster special and it did not fail me. The dessert at the end was a surprise. Expecting red bean soup but got a Chinese jello instead. Prawns were amazing too. Salted egg flavour and sweet and sour pork had wok hei! Service could be a bit slower but it's a Chinese restaurant. So i get it. Everything was gooood! Portions were generous and the taste on point. The washrooms could use a bit of cleaning as well as the flooring...so had to take away a star. Would go back for sure! Overall tho, good comfort Chinese food at reasonable prices. Cheers! Happy eating!

The decor is...,well, not anything special but cream walls and dark benches and wooden tables with medium lighting. I was getting worried but we stepped in so might as well move forward. To our surprise, we enjoyed the club sandwich, congee and pan fried rice noodles. The baked Portuguese chicken was ok. We would consider Silver Tower Cafe for late night eats for tradition HK style cafe. Service was so-so so that is why the deduction of one star.

I loved the ambiance and everyone inside was Cantonese, so it was very promising. Pineapple bun: This was a bit hard and it didnt taste fresh. Century egg porridge with chinese donut: This was pretty decent. The meat was tender and jook had a good flavor to it. Baked spaghetti: This dish lacked flavor and was a bit bland. Ive tried this dish at copa cafe (now closed) and they make it much better. Sizzling chicken steak combo: HUGE disappointment. The steak wasn't available so we opted for the chicken. The chicken was dry and bland. It also came with a sauce that didnt seem to go with it. It also came with a toast and eggs. Curry beef brisket over rice: This dish was pretty good. It had strong and bold curry flavors and it was really creamy, but unfortunately, there were too many potatoes compared to beef. Credit card not accepted, only cash or debit.

The setup is more like a food court café, nothing fancy, but it gets the job done. Prices are very reasonable, around $15-17 per person, which makes it a good value for casual dining. The menu hits the usual HK-style fusion notes -- a mix of Chinese and Western comfort dishes. I really enjoyed their Hong Kong milk tea; it tasted authentic and properly brewed, just like what you'd find in a local cha chaan teng. The baked pork chop rice came bone-in -- a bit unexpected, decent but not spectacular. The fried chicken with rice was also just okay, nothing that stands out. Overall, it's a solid choice if you're after quick, nostalgic HK-style comfort food at a fair price. The environment isn't the cleanest or most comfortable, but it serves its purpose. Would I come back? Maybe -- mostly for the tea and the value.

We only had our credit cards and I asked the person at the cash register if they take credit card, she said nope but there is an ATM upstairs at the Superstore. We went upstairs to grab some cash from the ATM out front. When we got back downstairs, the lady in charge already had reserved a table for us and immediately explained to us what is served during the breakfast hours. She gave us a few recommendations and we went with the wonton with brisket as they ran out of fish balls and the HK Style Grilled Beef with Black Peppercorn Sauce. Both items were marvelously well made, the peppercorn sauce is EXACTLY how its done in HK and all major cities with a huge HK population. But the winner is the wonton. By golly, I have had hundreds of bowls of wonton, I have made hundreds of wonton dumplings for my family's business but this one really stands out amongst all of them. The service is efficient and very friendly and they greeted so many regular customers with kind words asking about their work and family. I felt like I was entering into a HK neighborhood corner cafe.
